Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mr Sawkillto maintain an archaeological watching brief during the reduction of ground level in advance of construction of a proposed livestock building at Park Farm, West Amesbury, Wiltshire. The stripped area measured approximately 10.5 m x 15.5 m, and was centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 14248 41963. The footprint of the proposed building is considerably larger than this, however due to the sloping nature of the ground the remainder of the area is to be built up in order to create a level platform. The area is located within the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, with a total of three Scheduled Monuments in the immediate vicinity of the site. These are Vespasian's Camp, (NHLE no. 1012126) The Stonehenge Avenue (NHLE no. 1010140) and a group of three bowl barrows (NHLE no. 1012132). Consultation with the Assistant County Archaeologist confirmed that given the high archaeological potential, an archaeological watching brief was required during all open area stripping. The archaeological watching brief was maintained during the removal of topsoil and subsoil from the area of the proposed development. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were encountered during the excavations. This was in keeping with similar recent works in the immediate vicinity The watching brief was carried out on 12th August 2015. |
